An HR Solution for Timesheets and Time Tracking!
Reviewed on 2016/12/02
I tested TrackSmart for about a year before selecting it from among several others as our HR solution. It was the most fitting to our needs, our users didn't need any formal training in order to be able to use it, the price was within our budget, and we were finally able to do away with unsigned, handwritten timesheets. As a bonus, timesheets would now follow a proper review and approval process, and there is even a free downloadable app for users to be able to complete timesheets and request time off.
However, TrackSmart still has much room to grow, as many items we've been requiring of our ideal HR solution are still missing here. In particular, I have requested a field in each user's time bank to show how many vacation/sick/PTO/etc. they have for the year in total, as the program will only show you what you have accrued/available and what has been used, but no total of how much you will accrue for the year as a whole. It also does not automatically calculate California daily overtime, so our California timesheets must be manually calculated each week. Would also love to have a section on each user's dashboard for links to external websites and where documents may be uploaded to be shared with users upon login. The great thing is, through communication with TrackSmart's customer support team, they have been responsive in listening to their users and implementing changes as they are made aware of user needs.
All in all, with what TrackSmart currently delivers, and the promise of more great features to come, I am super pleased with the application and look forward to the future of our HR needs becoming easier to manage and track. Thanks!
Pros
Timesheet approval, detailed setup of time banks (PTO, Vacation, Sick, etc.), calendar option on the dashboard.
Cons
1 - Does not calculate daily overtime for California timesheets.
2 - No way of knowing how many Vacation/sick/PTO/etc. days in total you are allowed to receive for the year (only able to view what has been accrued/available and what has been used).
3 - Timesheets may only be saved/printed individually, not as a group.

Convenient and affordable, but unreliable
Reviewed on 2016/12/02
The first couple of years this worked well, which was great since it's considerably less costly than most systems. However, during the past year an update was made to their system, and several times since, there have been random changes made to the numbers of hours that had been entered. The first time this happened, I thought I had done something. But the second time it happened, I started browsing their Help section, and there was a section saying that this had occurred due to an upgrade they'd done. I give their customer support 2 stars because I think this should have been sent out as an announcement as soon as it happened, rather than keeping this info buried in their help section. Also, the last (third time) this happened, when I contacted their support, I was told the problem had been "all fixed," when of course it had not. We are a small nonprofit so probably cannot afford a different system. Hopefully, they can at some point resolve this bug in their system. If they do, I would recommend the system as efficient and cost-effective. In the meantime, luckily, I always make sure figures in the system are accurate and make a hard copy a couple of days prior to the new year and a couple of days after so I have something solid to check against when these system errors arise.
Pros
It's easy to enter information and generate reports for a cost-effective fee compared to other systems.
Cons
It has been very unreliable due to a bug in the system which periodically causes it to arbitrarily change the number of hours that had been entered.

Tracksmart Attendance - needs some feature updates
Reviewed on 2018/05/24
We have not noticed any updates to Tracksmart since we began using it 3 years ago. I am considering looking for something else.
Pros
We have been using Track Smart for 3 years. Generally it is easy for employees to enter time and PTOs. The reports are ok.
Cons
If there is a change to be made, all employees have to come to the administrator to make the change.
I wish we could eliminate all the extra banks of time... we only use PTO so I have to go in a manage it every month if the supervisors don't select the correct bank.
PTOs for time off are counted on the first day of the time off. We pay bi-monthly so this has messed up some hourly workers - for example if an employee takes 5 days off and it starts on the 14th and ends on the 19th - all of the time off will go onto the 14th.
The Supervisors do not receive notification when a time sheet is submitted.

Fischer Connectors - Awesome Experience
Reviewed on 2016/12/02
We needed a solution to the paper tracking of PTO. After some research, TrackSmart was selected for a few reasons. First, the set up was easy from the start. Second, training was a breeze for our staff and everyone could use the app right away after the initial set up. I used the 30-day trial to test and worked with TrackSmart with questions. I knew after a week that we would benefit from this service. There is no another company out there (at the time of my membership) that fit the bill as far as price, service and overall options. I would recommend TrackSmart to any company that needs a solid and proven application for PTO tracking.
Pros
Ease of use, reporting structure, price, customer service
Cons
It would be good to know when any upgrades happen so companies can make sure they have downloaded accurate records prior to the upgrade. We had an issue with an upgrade that messed up our PTO totals. It took some time but we worked with TrackSmart to resolve.

Track Employee PTO
Reviewed on 2018/04/13
Pros
Employee's like the mobile app and how easy it is to request time off. As an administrator I like all the available reports and that I can download them as Excel documents for easy editing.
Cons
As an admin I don't like that we cannot modify the time off banks. The only one we use is "PTO" and I'm having to constantly go in and modify accepted time to reflect the correct time off bank otherwise the employee's accrual will be wrong.

Great software for the price and it is easy to use regardless of computer skills.
Pros
It is very easy to manage and use. The report generator is a great add. The cost vs. other systems is good too.
Cons
When rolling this out in my facility, there was a bug in the system. The bug changed the number of hours that were previously entered. This made some very, very happy and other very, very mad. It has since been fixed but still not a great way to roll out new software.

Perfect for tracking time off!
Reviewed on 2016/12/02
We have been using TrackSmart for more than 3 years now and love it for tracking time off. The self-service options are great - employees can log in and easily request vacation, etc. and the requests don't get lost amongst all the other email that I receive. I love being able to roll over time when required, and the reporting functions are great for reconciling and reviewing at the end of each year.
Pros
Ease of time tracking - multiple time off banks - self-service functions - reports!

Pros
Tracksmart is great for small business! We have a staff of under 20 and use the Attendance to track time in and out for each employee.
Cons
Tracksmart is great the only thing I would change is the the way the 40hr week is split up. Once it's submitted you can't go back.

Sound Vacation Tracking System

The only negative is most of my employees and myself have iMacs or iPads and it doesn't currently work with Safari.
I hope it is fixed soon.
Real hassle, my employees can't put in requests from home. Customer Support said to download Chrome, but most of my employees and myself do not want two browsers on our devices.
Pros

Cons
Slow and does not work with Safari currently.

TrackSmart is EXTREMELY convenient. I researched several companies before landing with TrackSmart and I am pleased with what they offer. Their vacation calculating is my only complaint; it seems overly complicated and does not function well for what I need, perhaps if this part of the service was more customizable? Thank you TrackSmart, you definitely helped my small company when we needed it.

TrackSmart is very useful and definitely, helps me track time off for my employees. I would be lost without it. I do wish more features were included for what we pay and it would be nice if the site worked much faster. That's the one thing that drives me crazy. I know it will take longer to open than other websites. Overall, a good product.
